Privacy without the dead corporate glaze.

We collect information needed to run accounts, publishing, paid features, moderation, and support. The list below covers the main categories.

• Account details such as your email address, username, profile details, and login-related records.

• Content you create or upload, including stories, comments, messages, profile text, and support requests.

• Usage and device information such as browser type, IP address, approximate location, page visits, referring URLs, and interactions with the site.

• Transaction and subscription records when you make purchases or manage paid features. Payment card details are generally processed by our payment providers rather than stored directly by us.

• Safety, moderation, and diagnostic data used to detect abuse, investigate reports, and keep the platform reliable.

Personal data is processed only where there is a service, contractual, legal, security, support, or consent-based reason for doing so.

• To provide the service you request, including account creation, login, publishing, reading, and community features.

• To perform our contract with you when you use Minkly and any paid services or subscriptions you choose.

• To comply with legal obligations, including fraud prevention, tax, copyright, and law-enforcement related requests where required.

• To pursue legitimate interests such as platform security, abuse prevention, product improvement, analytics, and customer support.

• Where required, to rely on your consent for optional communications or similar consent-based processing. You can withdraw consent at any time.

We may share personal data with vendors that help operate the platform, including hosting, analytics, error monitoring, payment, email, storage, moderation, and customer-support providers. We may also disclose information when necessary to enforce our terms, protect users, prevent fraud, or comply with legal obligations.

Minkly may use cookies, similar technologies, analytics tools, and diagnostic services to remember sessions, understand product usage, improve performance, and investigate outages or abuse. You can manage certain cookie settings through your browser, though some required site features may stop working if those cookies are disabled.

We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and protect the platform. Because service providers may operate outside your country, your information may be processed internationally using appropriate safeguards where required.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

Minkly is not intended for children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal data to us in violation of applicable law, contact support@minkly.io.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another region with similar privacy protections, you may have the following rights:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.

• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.

• Request deletion of your account or personal data, subject to legal or operational retention requirements.

• Object to or request restriction of certain processing.

• Request portability of data you provided to us where applicable.

• Withdraw consent where processing depends on consent.

• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe your rights have been violated.

To exercise these rights, email support@minkly.io. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
